How to use Enum ThucydidesJUnitSystemProperties class of net.thucydides.junit package

You can run by tag:

$ mvn clean verify -Dtags="your-tag"

refer: https://johnfergusonsmart.com/running-serenity-bdd-tests-with-tags/

Looks like you are indirectly running Serenity through the junit-vintage-engine. When executed this way, parallel execution is simply not supported.

To be exact you are running your tests through Surefire -> JUnit 5 -> JUnit Vintage -> JUnit 4 -> Serenity -> Cucumber.

You'd have to wait for JUnit Vintage to support parallel execution or get rid of JUnit 5 from your depencies so Surefire can run JUnit 4 directly.

However given that you are also using Spring you may not be able to get rid of JUnit 5.

You could ask Serenity to support JUnit 5 but I suspect they will be unable too. They have never bothered to contribute the extension points they'd need upstream. Instead they have hacked their stuff into Cucumber.

Answer 11 from this Stack Overflow question solved my problem

Apparently you have to run the class containing the test, and not the test itself.

Check https://github.com/temyers/cucumber-jvm-parallel-plugin There is stated:

As of cucumber-jvm:4.0.0 parallel execution is supported natively by cucumber. As such, upgrading to Cucumber 4.0.0 is recommended and this plugin is no longer maintained.

So consider leave cucumber-jvm-parallel-plugin

It looks like you have in your pom.xml something like

<tags>"~@ignore"</tags>

try to change it to

    <tags>
      <tag>~@ignore</tag>
    </tags>

BTW proper new style is now not @ignore check https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/tree/master/tag-expressions#migrating-from-old-style-tags

I believe that this should be possible using the custom environments option when scheduling a run in Device Farm. Admittedly, I don't have experience with serenity but here is blog which uses cucumber tests.

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mobile/testing-mobile-apps-with-cucumber-and-appium-through-testng-on-aws-device-farm/

It looks like serenity is similar or extended from cucumber so in theory this might work.

[Edit]

Here are a few short gradle build tasks which should help to create a test package for Device Farm.

Note: this assumes that the dependencies are structured in the build.gradle file like this:

dependencies {

    testCompile(
            'net.serenity-bdd:serenity-junit:2.0.18',
            'net.serenity-bdd:serenity-cucumber:1.9.20',
            'org.assertj:assertj-core:3.11.1',
            'ch.qos.logback:logback-classic:1.2.3',
            'io.github.bonigarcia:webdrivermanager:3.0.0'
    )
}

sample build.gradle code

//source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/27455099/8016330
task getDeps(type: Copy) {
    from sourceSets.test.runtimeClasspath
    // if you need this from the dependencies in the build.gradle then it should be : 
    // from sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
    into 'build/libs/dependency-jars'
}

//packaging tests task which is generated from sample using gradle init
task packageTests(type: Jar) {
    dependsOn getDeps
    from sourceSets.test.output
    classifier = 'tests'
}

//create zip archive
//source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36883221/8016330
task zip(type: Zip) {
    dependsOn packageTests
    from 'build/libs/'
    include '*'
    include '*/*' //to include contents of a folder present inside dependency-jars directory
    archiveName 'zip-with-dependencies.zip'
    destinationDir(file('build/libs/'))
}

Then you should be able to create the zip file using this command:

./gradlew clean zip

Note: You'll need the clean command otherwise it will package the previous zip archive in the new zip archive.

Just confirm first that your using supported surefire and junit version. For more details refer https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/single-test.html

In case your using maven failsafe plugin then the syntax will vary little bit. Something like this

mvn -Dit.test=ITCircle#test* verify

Refer https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/examples/single-test.html for more details.

If this is like the popups that I've dealt with they work like this:

1. Customer comes to site and the site checks for the existence of a cookie. If that cookie exists, the popup is never launched (ideal state). If that cookie does NOT exist (typical state), after a specified period of time a popup appears.
2. Customer dismisses the popup and a cookie is created with an expiration time
3. Once that expiration time passes, the cookie expires and the popup will fire again

You need to do some investigation and find the cookie that is created once the popup is dismissed. Clear your cache, browse to the site, and note all the cookies that exist. Wait for the popup and dismiss it. Now find the cookie that was just created and examine it. This is the cookie you need to create. There are a lot of tutorials on creating cookies. It's pretty straightforward.

Once you learn how to create the cookie, you add it to your script as described below:

1. Navigate to some page on the domain that you know doesn't exist, e.g. www.domain.com/some404page. We do this because it won't trigger the popup countdown and we need to be on the domain to create the cookie.
2. Create the cookie
3. Do your normal test

No more popups.

You can also configure it in serenity.conf file

So something like that;

# Remote
webdriver {
  driver = remote
  remote {
      url="http://localhost:4445/wd/hub"
      driver=chrome
  }
}

Find the solution for parallel execution with cucumber 7 and serenity junit 4. Below pom.xml is tested and working to execute parallel. According to this pom.xml to execute two ways:

1. locally - add to your runner in tags tag you want to run and then execute this command mvn clean verify

2. mvn clean verify -Dtags="@yourtagHere"
